83:8 Even Assyria has allied with them,
lending its strength to the descendants of Lot. 1 (Selah)
89:13 Your arm is powerful,
your hand strong,
your right hand 2 victorious. 3
1 tn Heb “they are an arm for the sons of Lot.” The “arm” is here a symbol of military might.
2 sn The Lord’s arm, hand, and right hand all symbolize his activities, especially his exploits in war.
3 tn Heb “is lifted up.” The idiom “the right hand is lifted up” refers to victorious military deeds (see Pss 89:42; 118:16).
